HP taps NCR's Mark Hurd as new CEO

After reviving NCR, Mark Hurd now has another reclamation project on his hands.

Hewlett-Packard’s (HP’s) board of directors has selected him as the company’s new leader following the abrupt dismissal of Carly Fiorina earlier this year, according to multiple media reports Tuesday. An HP spokesman refused to comment on the reports, which said the company would formally introduce Hurd later on Tuesday.
